So Unlike Me

I'm not one to complain about the weather. If it gets too cold, I go to my condo in Florida. If it gets too hot, I stay inside my a/c home. However, I'm complaining now! This morning I returned from my 6 mile morning walk, dripping wet, including my hair. My cleaning lady offered me ice water and laughed at the sight of me. So off I went to shower, as usual. After doing errands, I had to take, Doodles the cat, for his morning walk. He was smart. He stayed in the shade. What did I do for the 30 minutes he was resting and not walking? I pulled weeds. I felt lightheaded and faint. I had to shower yet again. This humidity is awful! I'm a whiner, not a complainer. I'm complaining now! Photo is of my grandson at Rye Playland last weekend.

@DianneN where Garden Grove is we are about three miles from the Pacific so the air is pretty humid at any ptime as it blows off the ocean butif we get wind like a santa anablowing in from the desert then the humidy is very low.

That is why we take our walk early in the morning so we beat the heat.

@DianneN We've been extremely hot and humid since June. And we usually have about a week of that in June and another maybe in July and that is usually it for the extreme summer weather, but that is all we've had except for a few days here and there.

They warned us during the winter that it would be unusually hot due to El NiƱo. It hasn't been bad here until today.

Yeh, we get the heat but the humidity stuff would likely kill me. I'd complain a bunch! Makes you want to stay in a cool shower, right? Cute pic! Large cotton candy!

I should be used to it, but never could adjust when it's awful like today. Lucky you to be in CA! Dry heat! The cotton candy is larger than his head! Lol!

You should drink more water and stay dehydrated. Nothing beats the hot weather better than iced cold drinks! stay away from the sun as well, its rays are much harmful now than during the old days.

The humidity is no joke. Staying cool and hydrated is important. Doodles knew what to do.

I hear ya on that humidity, my gracious its awful. Where do you live in the United States? I live in Canton, Pa that Northeastern Pennsylvania and I know it could be worse. The weather report says 58% humidity but it feels a lot higher it is 90 by the weather report, 85 in the shade. I am looking forward to the fall with its cooler weather and beautiful colors. We are surrounded by mountains so we don't have to go far to see the foliage this fall. We are blessed for sure.

I heard that it is a scorcher in the East right now, so I don't blame you for complaining about the weather. I hope it cools off a bit, soon!

At least you can always have options to get cooler inside your A/C home or in Florida. Your cat is so funny, instead of walking he just stayed in the shade?

Yes, he chased a butterfly in the sun, then walked into the shade. Poor kitty is black and absorbs that heat!

@DianneN The pleasant rains over, sweltering heat which will be broken by rains for a couple of days. The weather pattern has changed over the years....

I complain constantly about being cold, even in the summer due to the air conditioner. I try hard not to complain about the heat, but when I have to be out in it for hours, it does get to me.

It's made me feel nauseated and faint. Since we spend our winters in Florida now, I've stopped complaining about the cold

We are lucky, after the storm of last Sunday, the winds from the Alps have chased the humidity. Now it's not too hot and it's breezy and dry I have mowed the lawn and cleaned the garden today. It's pleasant to work outside
